The World Health Organization declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda a 'public health emergency of international concern,' posing risks to neighboring countries. The WHO said the outbreak does not meet the criteria of a pandemic emergency but that countries sharing land borders with DRC are at high risk for further spread. The U.N. health agency said in a statement that 80 suspected deaths, eight laboratory-confirmed cases and 246 suspected cases had been reported as of Saturday (May 16). #WHO #ebola #congo #health #uganda #news
